Can you be reassessed Lwrca after having been on it for a while?

Rumi

If you have been awarded Lwrca will they need to reassess you again?

Yes, being re-assessed is part of the current process and happens more than once.

If getting UC a journal note will be added saying you will need to be re-assessed. The UC50 form will then arrive for you to fill out and return. You will then have a telephone or in person appointment. Paper based assessments do happen but are rare.

UC reassessments have been suspended for three years. A small number took place in the summer and more are now happening.

No one can tell you when or how often you will be reassessed unfortunately.

@Kimmy87 after how long do you get reassessed?

There are many variables, it's not possible to answer your question more specifically I'm afraid.

It depends on something known as the 'prognosis period' the Decision Maker put on your claim - all LCWRA awards are ongoing. The prognosis period however is merely a rough indicator as to when an assessment might be due - the pandemic completely upset the apple cart when it came to reviews and new claims.

Prognosis periods could be anything from 12 months to 36 months or you may be completely exempt from a reassessment if you fall under the severe conditions category.

Best wishes.

That will depend on the current government's drive to get more people into work. I would say that you have a few years before it happens.
It's a bit like PIP. normally its between 3 and 5 years before you are reassessed.
However with PIP and if you are over pension age you get 10 years before reassessment.
Just enjoy what you have and not think about what if.

PIP award lengths can be anything between 1 and 10 years.

Not everyone of state pension age and above receive a 10 year award. It will only apply if your health conditions are not expected to change.

I have a condition that's not going to change so does that mean I wont be reassessed for LCWRA.
Already been told my PIP award was for 10 years.

There is a severe conditions group for LCWRA, but the bar is very high and it's rare to hear of anyone getting into that catagory.

Under the current rules it's best to assume you will be reassessed unfortunately. Many of us with conditions that don't change do get reassessed.

Ok not good news.
I got awarded it in 2021 after it has affected my whole life in every area and now my mental health.
So at some point will go through it again.
Thanks for answering.

Yes, unfortunately the majority of people do have reassessments. I also haven't heard of many being placed into the severe conditions group.

Ok thanks.
They did paper based two years ago, currently would still need to be that way.

I do believe that being a state pension gives an automatic right to a 10 year award.
How are the DWP to know my issues are not expected to change?
With modern medicines and treatment many earlier issues around health do in fact improve. I never disclosed mental health issues due to my Armed Service for the PIP application years ago as I did not have any relevant and up to date proof. I claimed only for physical difficulties that I could prove with evidence. Some of those have indeed settled down since 2017 - yet I was given a 10 year award to 2029.

Nope, sorry but you are incorrect here. See link https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/forums/viewthread/18879/#89343
